DESCRIPTION:Doors 5:30 PM | Show 6:30\nForever the Sickest Kids&rsquo\; f
 orthcoming self-titled sophomore album  almost happened by chance. The T
 exas fivesome\, who have toured with  bands like All Time Low\, Good Cha
 rlotte\, Boys Like Girls\, Third Eye  Blind\, 3OH!3\, released their muc
 h-loved debut Underdog Alma Mater in April of 2008\, following its succe
 ss in November of 2009 with the release of their mini-LP\, The Weekend: 
 Friday.  While in the studio with producer David Bendeth in early 2010\,
  the band  realized that the songs were just too good for another mini-L
 P.\nSo over the course of the year\, between touring in the States and  
 overseas\, FTSK wrote and demoed more new material\, hoping to balance t
 he  five songs they initially recorded with six more. The tracks were  r
 ecorded throughout the year in Connecticut\, New Jersey\, New York and  
 Dallas with several producers &mdash\; Shep Goodman\, Aaron Accetta\, Ma
 rk  Jackson and Ian Scott. Plus\, this time the members of FTSK took the
   reins on some of the production duties as well. Taking their time to  
 perfect the tracks and allow a year&rsquo\;s worth of experience to sink
  into  them really benefited the overall album.\n&ldquo\;Every member of
  the band brings a certain level of creativity and  we&rsquo\;re so vers
 atile with the things we can do with our music that when  you sit down w
 ith a different producer they&rsquo\;re going to pull those  different e
 lements out of you that maybe another producer wasn&rsquo\;t able to  ta
 p into\,&rdquo\; Jonathan says. &ldquo\;So you&rsquo\;re getting songs t
 hat have different  elements to show fans that you&rsquo\;re not pigeonh
 oled.&rdquo\;\n&ldquo\;We were able to write a whole lot of songs and lo
 ok back on them  when they were done and pick what we thought was the be
 st\,&rdquo\; Marc adds.  &ldquo\;The writing process really brought it t
 ogether on this album and I  think the five of us are really fired up to
  get it to all our fans this  year.&rdquo\;\nThe final album\, Forever t
 he Sickest Kids\, is eleven songs of the  band&rsquo\;s signature pop-ro
 ck style\, spanning a broad range of tones from  upbeat dance numbers to
  pensive ballads. &ldquo\;Life of the Party\,&rdquo\; which Marc  calls 
 &ldquo\;that feel good party track that every CD needs\,&rdquo\; is bois
 terous  and propulsive\, driven by popping electro beats and a sing-alon
 g rock  chorus. &ldquo\;Keep On Bringing Me Down&rdquo\; was one of the 
 first songs written  for the album\, a true collaborative effort that pa
 irs a raucous melody  with a sense of relatable storytelling in the lyri
 cs\, something the  group hopes to convey throughout the disc. &ldquo\;F
 orever Girl\,&rdquo\; an emotive\,  acoustic track\, showcases the group
 &rsquo\;s introspective side. Overall\, the  disc is a collection of goo
 d time songs that should truly connect to  their listener.\nThe fans are
  another aspect of FTSK&rsquo\;s goals for 2011. The group\, who  are kn
 own for having very close\, approachable relationships with their  fans\
 , hopes to reconnect with an audience who&rsquo\;s been missing them for
   over a year now. Plans for behind-the-scenes videos\, special in-store
   performances and interactive elements are already in motion.\n&ldquo\;
 We&rsquo\;ve been a band for three-plus years\, but we haven&rsquo\;t ch
 anged who  we are or what we want to do with this band\,&rdquo\; Kyle sa
 ys. &ldquo\;We&rsquo\;re  developing and progressing musically but our r
 oots are always going to  stay the same. We just want to have a good tim
 e and we want fans to have  a good time and be able to relate to us. We&
 rsquo\;ll never lose the love we  have for anyone who likes our music.&r
